| alcoholics anonymous | An organization of self-proclaimed alcoholics who meet frequently to reinforce their practice of abstinence. (12 Dec 1998) |

| anonymous reporting | In public health, anonymous reporting permits the acquisition of certain data such as the proportion of persons with a positive test or with a disease. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anonymous testing | Testing in which no name is used there is total anonymity to identify the person tested. For example, the State of Florida requires that each county have a site for anonymous HIV testing. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anonymous veins | An obsolete term for brachiocephalic veins. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atypical mycobacteria | Species of mycobacteria other than M. Tuberculosis or M. Bovis that can cause disease in immunocompromised humans. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reporting, anonymous | In public health, anonymous reporting permits the acquisition of certain data such as the proportion of persons with a positive test or with a disease. It is different from anonymous testing, in which no name is used on the test sample. (12 Dec 1998) |
| group III mycobacteria | Mycobacteria that are either colourless or that slowly produce a light yellow pigment when grown in the presence of light. Organisms placed in this group belong to the species Mycobacterium intracellulare. Synonym: nonchromogens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| group II mycobacteria | Mycobacteria that produce a yellow pigment even when grown in the dark; when grown in the light, the pigment is orange. These organisms behave as do saprophytes in humans and are nonpathogenic to laboratory animals. Synonym: scotochromogens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| group I mycobacteria | Mycobacteria that produce a bright yellow colour when grown in the presence of light. Organisms placed in this group appear to belong to the species Mycobacterium kansasii. Synonym: photochromogens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| group IV mycobacteria | Mycobacteria that grow rapidly and that do not produce pigment. Organisms placed in this group belong to such species as Mycobacterium ulcerans and M. Marinum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mycobacteria | <microbiology> Bacteria with unusual cell walls that are resistant to digestion, being waxy, very hydrophobic and rich in lipid, especially esterified mycolic acids. Staining properties differ from those of gram-negative and gram-positive organisms, being acid-fast. Many are intracellular parasites, causing serious diseases such as leprosy and tuberculosis. Cell wall has strong immunostimulating (adjuvant) properties due to muramyl dipeptide (MDP). Mycobacterium bovis causes tuberculosis in cattle, attenuated strain is Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG), used for immunisation. Mycobacterium leprae is the causative agent of leprosy. Mycobacterium microti is a mycobacterium that causes tuberculosis like disease in small rodents (Microtus microtus is the vole), will infect mice but not humans and is therefore much used as a laboratory model. Releases large amounts of cAMP which may inhibit lysosome phagosome fusion. Mycobacterium tuberculosis Is an obligate anaerobic nonmotile bacterium, causative agent of tuberculosis in humans. Lives intracellularly in macrophages. (18 Nov 1997) |
| testing, anonymous | Testing in which no name or other means is used to identify the person tested. There is total anonymity. For example, the state of florida requires that each county have a site for anonymous HIV testing. (12 Dec 1998) |

nontuberculous mycobacteria.
